The process that creates these unique, one of a kind pieces takes time.  We begin by sourcing the trees, logs, or antique beams, flitch cutting the lumber (retaining the natural edges), debarking with a draw knife, stacking and air drying for one to three years, and finally the kiln drying process.  At this point we are ready to begin cooperating with the wonderful slab to see just what form we can come up with for its next life.

What's the rush anyway.  It just makes sense (to me) that if furniture takes weeks, months or years to make - the customer would in turn value it more, keep it longer, and there would be a slow down in the chaotic mass consumption of our natural resources.  Well, we're doing our part.
